Hi Candice,I use a NailLuv LED lamp that is only 6 volts and it works great. I cure for 1 minute just to be safe, so if your lamp is 12 volts, you should be fine. This is a fabulous product - I have been using it on my nails constantly for the past several months and my nails are longer than ever. FYI, it's great with regular polish too, not just gel. I put on 1 layer of gel foundation & cure, then 1 - 2 layers of structure & cure, then 1 layer of gel top coat & cure - then wipe clean with alcolhol. Then ready to either apply gel or regular color. The regular polish is especially easy to remove and reapply new color without affecting the structure gel! Happy painting! Hi Candice,I use a NailLuv LED lamp that is only 6 volts and it works great.

The lamp is a 12V equaling 7 watts. It would be difficult to cure all fingers and thumb at same time ( thumb would not be flat so only half of thumb nail would cure). It's recommended to cure the 4 fingers, followed by the thumb. Hope this helps!

I bought a Shany brand UV nail lamp on Amazon. I just double the curing time with the UV compared to the LED. SHANY UV Gel Light Nail Dryer, 36 Watts Pro Series

You should use the 11 watts as the instructions say. If you use a higher watt, you could damage the light

Its LED only. The manufacturers website states it cures UV gel polish but it is a LED only lamp.

There is no direct conversion from incandescent (traditional) lights to LED lights in watts. The 100W incandescent bulb produced 1600 lumens, so you would need a 1600 lumen LED light. That could vary between 6w and 20w depending efficiency of the LED light.

You can use a large bulb, 100 watt. I originally gat a three way bulb because it said it was dim able, it is not! Also, you'll want to take a Xanax before you attempt assembly - it is impossible, and once you get it partially assembled, you will want to return it. Yet you can't because it won't come apart. It's a beautiful lamp otherwise and the foot pedal is convenient

Any home improvement store. Another option would be to install led light bulbs with a high lumen count. This would allow for more light with less wattage

No, you need a UV lamp. I have even heard several people try the LED and it will not cure.

I don't know...I have a UV light, from research...only LED can cure LED specific polish

A 40 watt worked for me -- and I like dim lights to preserve the rods in my eyes. So, you must have a dud if the bulb is tightly screwed and there isn't any packaging blocking the electrical connection. My lamp was packed in a messy kind of paper and I used compressed air to blow all the gunk out of the socket.

They do make 12v led systems if that is what you need. Look up MR16 base lamps. They are the kind used in track lighting and in display spot lighting.

Hi Milton, LED lighting can be replaced when sent to the repair center. It isn't user replacable. -Vincent

I really don't know. Everything I have read says you need to check the brand of polish to see what kind of light works with it and the curing times. Maybe they have a web site that would have that information. Sorry I am not more help.

You cannot! When the unit fails, you toss it. These are disposable like printers. It does not pay to fix them. The lamp is all sealed, nothing to service. The reasoning behind this is that LED's last a few thousand hours and should give you about 3-5 years of service with normal use.

This LED light includes 2 Moonray connectors. Just open 3 screws and place low voltage cable then tighten screw. For cost effective, you can use screw cap with silicon in a tube for water resistance. you can buy at home depot or Lowes
